  Description     : RObust Header Compression (ROHC) library

RObust Header Compression (ROHC) is a standardized method defined by the IETF
in RFC3095 to compress the IP, UDP, RTP, and TCP headers of Internet packets.
This compression scheme differs from other compression schemes by the fact that
it performs well over links where the packet loss rate is high, such as
wireless links

The library is also provided with application like rohctunnel, which makes a
ROHC-over-UDP or ROHC-over-Ethernet tunnel.

The library is also used by packages not (yet?) in Debian:
* http://opensand.org/ A satellite telecommunication system emulation platform
* Patched versions of openvpn

A first version of packaging is available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/spaillard/rohc.git/
https://people.debian.org/~spaillard/rohc/1.7.0/

I don't need a sponsor, but I'd welcome reviewers as it's my first library package.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging rohc. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of rohc from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging rohc, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 756654 ITP: rohc -- RObust Header Compression (ROHC) library
 owner 756654 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <756654@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
